People from whom you learn & grow or learn…they then, consciously or unconsciously spread that example to others-you being at your best has more of an impact on this world that you could ever know-show everyone you love what a life looks like when you have self discipline…self discipline, meaning you are willing to delay gratification or meaningless things that may be pleasurable or easy now, but lead to a lesser quality life later. You ahow the discipline to sacrifice now, for a greater life ,a greater world later.An example of this might be something that tastes good in moment, but poison’s your body ,dilutes your energy & therefore affects you quality of life in the future.
